Episode 123 – I was wrong

In this episode, Andy and Roger take a deep dive into the concept of changing one's mind—whether it's about politics, parenting, or personal philosophy. They explore past beliefs they’ve abandoned, current debates they’re wrestling with, and the future positions they could see themselves shifting on.

Roger opens up about moving away from religion and challenging his long-held suspicion of overly positive people. Andy reflects on evolving views about privilege and parenting, realising that being "soft" on kids might not always be in their best interests. The duo also debate the difficulty of admitting you were wrong—especially in the hyper-polarised political landscape.

From Trump to trust in institutions, they dissect how ideology, experience, and ego shape the way people cling to or revise their beliefs. Plus, a discussion on whether we should all be giving out more unsolicited compliments (without sounding like a corporate sales rep).
